  - Seriously, and specifically, with divorced parents, I think I might have been so slow to advance the relationship that I might have killed it. - TFox Dec 30, 11:03 2
    - divorced parents is an issue? this shocks me. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 11:04 1
      - As in, my parents are divorced, and I was always convinced I would take my sweet-ass time to be "sure" before I married someone. - TFox Dec 30, 11:06
  - Though she's obviously got some issues if she is with TFox. ;) -- nm - Don Homer Dec 30, 11:01 2

- Re:Challenger, what exploded was the rockets. The craft (and flight deck) was largely in tact before it hit the ocean. They were alive that long. - Mop Dec 30, 10:46
- the one that gets me is that three of the challenger astronauts probably survived the explosion, and possibly the fall. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 10:45 1

        surely if palestine expects to be taken seriously, they wouldn't elect a government that wants to wipe their neighbour off the face of the earth. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 11:02 3
        
        Then leave it to the Palestinian people to remove Hamas by the ballot box. Having the Israeli military operate the current conflict with a goal to - Loyola Dec 30, 11:11 1
        
        you elect a government that says "the only solution to the palestinian question is jihad." you can't really complain when the other side attacks. - mafic Dec 30, 11:43

If you're at the point where you're considering marriage, asking the girl if she'd want a 'hand me down' ring should be fine. -- nm - kelly Dec 30, 10:18 33

  - Look out, it's something yellow! (nm) - David Dec 30, 10:26 11

    - It used to be wood that would defeat the original Green Lantern. -- nm - Remlik Dec 30, 10:28 8
      - I'm sad for the lack of imagination this character's entire storyline has. -- nm - David Dec 30, 10:29 7
        
        what are you talking about? Cause the GL and GL corp book has been consistently good for the last 2 1/2 years. -- nm - Remlik Dec 30, 10:30 6
        
        (David hates Green Lantern.) -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 30, 10:31 1

        It was written by someone profoundly impacted by that alien bar scene in Star Wars. -- nm - David Dec 30, 10:33 1
        
        I can't disagree with that. But, I thought, it was an epic battle of good vs. evil. Teacher vs. Student and quite fun. -- nm - Remlik Dec 30, 10:36
- This is the sort of thing SB would find out slowly over time. We're getting ahead of ourselves no? -- nm - con_carne Dec 30, 10:23 12

        nothing wrong with that at all. -- nm - Remlik Dec 30, 10:30 1
        
        heh, my sister made me promise to wait at least two years to get married. i was like, done! -- nm - kare Dec 30, 10:33
- I knew the tastes of the only girl I ever asked to marry me well enough to know if she'd like a prospective ring. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 10:22 1
  - (like if you know she'd hate grandma's ring, that sucks, but you have to move on, it ain't about grandma) -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 10:30
- You just propose with what you have, and say she can get a new setting if she would like, but you would like to use the family diamond. -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 30, 10:20 2
  - This is what I'm leaning towards - Strongbad Dec 30, 10:22 1
    - yeah, I would think - tRuMaN Dec 30, 10:24
- i know it's not practical, but there's some sort of romantic part of me who would love to be completely taken by surprise by a proposal - kare Dec 30, 10:19 1

- Interesting (not really) side note: I've been misreading the NARN3 title as "Dawn Trader" since... well... since I first read the title. - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 30, 10:30 2
  - *gasp* It is by far the best book of them all. -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 30, 10:34 1
    - Never read any but The Lion etc. -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 30, 10:38

    - I think the series still has a lot of money left to be made. if they had waited for the new one to open on Xmas it would have cleaned up. -- nm - Remlik Dec 30, 10:22 8
      - yeah, I never got the planning of caspian's release. it seemed like a holiday movie. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 30, 10:23 7
        
        It was a holiday DVD instead. -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 30, 10:30
        
        Much like when they moved Pixar and WB moved Potter...they think movie earn more in the summer -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 30, 10:26
        
        Probably made it a summer release to focus on Bedtime Stories as their holiday movie this year. -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 30, 10:24 4
        
        How much money did they have in Bedtime Stories? -- nm - TaurusII Dec 30, 10:26 1
        
        Not sure - just speculation on my part. -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 30, 10:26
        
        they could have thanksgiving then? -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 30, 10:24 1
        
        Bolt already was there. -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 30, 10:26
- Read this, kinda sad. But most of the popularity, for the series, is based on the first book. -- nm - budice Dec 30, 10:17
- The Horse and His Boy seems nigh on unfilmable to me. -- nm - Reagen Dec 30, 10:17 3
